The blockchain ecosystem is always in need of more developers who want to push a fresh spin on the concept of distributed ledgers. Despite several conferences and development workshops around the world, it is rather difficult to attract coders on a larger scale. A new solution by Uber, which gamifies the aspect of hacking challenges, might be something to take note of by Bitcoin and blockchain companies.

There’s never been a whirlwind of politics surrounding an open source project on the scale that we see with Bitcoin.

Clef, a two-factor authentication platform, has recently gained traction in the Bitcoin space with companies like Koinify integrating it to secure their platform.

While the developers over at Blackcoin (specifically David Zimbeck) have technically already won this race (and I’ll get to that point in

Chain.com is providing the best experience for developers, and venture capitalists are taking notice. Chain just raised 9.5 million dollars in a new round of funding led by Khosla Ventures, RRE Ventures, Thrive Capital, and SV Angel. Chain may only be a few months old, but it grew out of another company that had previous funding. Before, there were two groups working on making a bitcoin programming interface for developers. One of the groups was

When I see a coin in Poloniex or Bittrex go on a 400% rise, the first thing that comes to mind is when will the bubble pop. People must buy coins to increase the value, and whales alike must dump them at some point as well. Greed is the ultimate demise of everyone involved in the pumping of a coin. This was clearly showed by the likes of Wolong and Fontas which I will explain
